If you pay in a currency that is not the domestic currency of the country of the beneficiary’s bank, the recipient may receive less than what you’ve sent. Intermediary banks are likely to levy additional charges and the receiving bank is likely to convert the payment to a local currency, which means that the amount received cannot be predicted.

Payments to international bank accounts are limited in the size of transaction: USD: 75,000; GBP: 55,000; EUR: 60,000; and AUD: 90,000. Users who are permanent South African residents with a valid South African ID can transfer a maximum of R1mil per a calendar year. If you are a Foreign National, you may not make an International Payment with funds you brought into the country or which are ring- fenced. In addition, only funds which you have received or earned in South Africa can be used.

You will receive an email when the payment has been sent. This email may take a few days (up to 3 working days) to arrive. This does not confirm receipt of funds by the beneficiary, only sending of the payment. Only your beneficiary or their bank is able to confirm the actual receipt of the funds.

The beneficiary that you are paying should be able to provide those details for you.

IBAN: International Bank Account Number. This is used to identify the bank you are sending money to. Do not enter spaces between characters. Ensure that you have right code from the beneficiary. BIC SWIFT: Business Identifier Code & SWIFT code. You will need to get the code from the beneficiary, and is bank specific. Do not enter spaces in between characters. Ensure that you have the correct code from the beneficiary. ABA: Routing transit number. This is used to identify financial institutions in the USA. Do not leave spaces in between characters. Ensure that you have the correct code from the beneficiary. There are three potential types of routing number.

As a guideline, payments to beneficiaries for the following purposes are not permitted: · Payments for the purpose of gambling (Paying gambling institutions); · Any and all purchases related to arms dealing; · Adult entertainment of any kind; and · Purchasing of drugs/drug paraphernalia.

No, all payments for the purpose of purchasing crypto currency will be unsuccessful as they currently fall outside of our risk appetite.

USD payments to a beneficiary in the USA are made through the domestic ACH network and fall under the category of electronic payment (often referred to as direct deposit or ACH payments). These payments are not wire payments. Please ensure to enter the ABA number for direct deposit or ACH payment in the ABA field when creating a beneficiary. If you make use of the wire ABA number, this will result in the payment failing. Due to the nature of ACH payments, we unfortunately cannot recall or put a trace on any payments made through the ACH network.

The Central Bank of The United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) introduced a new Purpose of Payment Code for all SWIFT payments received into and sent from bank accounts held within the UAE.

The Virtual Card is not currently supported by Uber, as they do not accept prepaid Cards as a form of payment.

Your Virtual Cards are grouped according to expiration status. When a Virtual Card is due to expire in 30 days, you will be notified via email and the Card status will change to “About to Expire”. When a Virtual Card has expired, you will be notified via email and the full balance on the Card will automatically be transferred from the Card to your currency wallet. You can view your expired Cards and get statements for expired Cards by selecting the “Expired Cards” option on the side menu screen.

A Virtual Card will expire 5 years after it has been created.

Select the "Transact" tab and the relevant currency wallet you would like the card statement from. Select "Cards", just below "Total Balance" and select the desired card. Once you have selected your card, select the "Transactions" button in the menu below the "Card Balance" and then select "Statement" at the top-right of the screen.

购买外币
什么是SDA?

单次酌情限额（SDA）是南非储备银行（SARB）设置的购买外币限制。对于拥有有效南非ID的南非永久居民， SDA的总额为每年一百万兰特，可用于“离岸活动”。这一限额包含您的所有交易， 而不仅是您通过Shyft进行的交易。您应确保您的交易不超过上述限额。作为外籍人士， 您不能使用带入本国的资金或绝缘防范性资金购买外币。您只能使用您在南非收入的资金进行外币购买。 您只能在有效的工作许可期限内购买您的标准银行账户允许限额的外币。

BOP是指支付余额（Balance of Payments)，是提供给南非税务局和相关金融监管机构的报告， 告知所有汇出南非的资金数额及汇款用途。对于拥有有效南非ID的南非永久居民，所有Shyft交易都记录在BOP分类码511 04类别——与投资收入无关的居民外国投资——向境外银行存款。对于外籍人士，所有交易都记录在BOP分类码417类别——外籍合同务工人士汇款——不含补贴。

如果您通过Shyft进行效益的限额超过了一百万的限额，您的账户在今年内将被冻结。请确认， 您必须确保您其他产品的交易金额也同时不超过限额。您可以在Shyft应用的个人菜单页面查询您已经购买的外币金额。 对于外籍人士，如果您的工作许可过期或失效，或您已达到当期购买外币的限额，您将不再能够通过Shyft购买外币， 但仍可通过已经购买的外币进行国际支付，以及用于您的虚拟和/或实体银行卡。

在ZAR钱包中存入兰特之后，点击导航栏中间的交易按钮，选择“Buy Foreign Currency”，选择外币币种和购买数额，并确认购买。

标准银行对外汇交易收取一定的费用。这一费用包含在您购买外币时使用的实时汇率中。您看到的价格即是您实际的交易价格，使用Shyft购买外币无需支付额外费用。

如果您转入的币种不是收款银行所在国的流通货币，该收款人收到的金额将少于您转出的金额。 中转银行也将收取额外的费用，并且收款银行会将货币兑换为本国流通货币。这意味着，收款人最终收到的钱款金额未定。
